Everybody sees this you
I’m the one that lost the view
Everybody says we’re through
I hope you haven’t said it too
So where do we go from here
With all this fear in our eyes?
And where can love take us now?
We’ve been so far down
We can still touch the sky if we crawl
‘Til we can walk again
Then we’ll run until we’re strong enough to jump
Then we’ll fly until there is no wind
So let’s crawl, crawl, crawl
Back to love, yeah
Back to love, yeah
Why did I change the pace?
Hearts were never meant to race
Always felt the need for space
And now I can’t reach your face (Your face)
So where are you standing now?
Are you in the crowd of my faults? (My faults, oh)
Love, can’t you see my hand?
I need one more chance
We can still have it all so we’ll crawl (If we crawl)
‘Til we can walk again
Then we’ll run (Then we’ll run) until we’re strong enough to jump
Then we’ll fly until there is no wind
So let’s crawl, crawl, crawl
Back to love, yeah
Back to love, yeah
Everybody sees this you
Well, I never wanna lose that view
So we’ll crawl (If we crawl) ’til we can walk again
Then we’ll run (Then we’ll run) until we’re strong enough to jump
Then we’ll fly until there is no wind
So let’s crawl, crawl, crawl
So we’ll crawl (If we crawl, oh) ’til we can walk again (‘Til we can walk again)
Then we’ll run (Then we’ll run) until we’re strong enough to jump
Then we’ll fly (Yeah, yeah) until there is no wind
So let’s crawl, let’s crawl, let’s crawl
Back to love
Rediscovering Love Step by Step
In “Crawl,” Chris Brown delivers a heartfelt ballad that explores the journey of repairing a broken relationship. The lyrics evoke a sense of vulnerability and hope, as the narrator acknowledges past mistakes and expresses a longing to rebuild trust. The recurring metaphor of “crawling” before walking, running, and eventually flying, beautifully symbolizes the gradual process of healing and reconnecting with a loved one. Brown’s emotive vocals amplify the sincerity behind the plea for a second chance, making the song relatable to anyone who has ever needed to fix something precious in their life.
The Power of Taking Things Slow
Rather than rushing back into love, “Crawl” emphasizes the importance of moving forward at a manageable pace. The song suggests that true recovery in a relationship requires patience, self-reflection, and mutual effort. It’s a powerful reminder that even after setbacks, with determination and compassion, it’s possible to reach new heights together.
